Overview
The Count de Cagliostro, who occupies his spare time in working magic, has invited one of his friends to be present at an exhibition which has for its aim the object of showing how much the sense of sight can be abused and deceived. In the center of three fans he arranges a rose-window, which there appears a young page who is suddenly transformed into a marquis of the time of Louis XV. The count brings a large frame, the marquise arranges herself in it, and it seems to the visitor that she is changed into a nymph. He then approaches it to verify the fact, but he perceives that it is the count in person who is in the middle of the picture. But in order to assure himself that he is not mistaken, he strives to grasp him but the latter disappears mysteriously, and the frame, in the center of which he finds himself, is absolutely empty. What he has seen was only a marvelous illusion.

Primary
Due to the complete absence of any specific plot details or thematic content for 'The Astonishing Frame,' an objective assessment of political bias is not possible, resulting in a neutral rating.
As an early 20th-century film by Georges Méliès, 'The Astonishing Frame' features casting and character portrayals that align with the traditional norms of its era. The narrative focuses on spectacle and does not engage with modern diversity, equity, or inclusion themes, nor does it offer critique of traditional identities.
Secondary
As a silent film from the early 20th century, 'The Astonishing Frame' by Georges Méliès does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on visual effects and fantastical elements, typical of Méliès's work, rather than exploring social or identity-based portrayals.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
This 1904 film by Georges Méliès is an original work, not an adaptation of pre-existing material with established characters or historical figures. Therefore, no characters exist with a prior canonical gender to be swapped.
